I don't think it is too cheap. I've seen the rears for $123 but that's at a site in Japan. They haven't got back to me re: shipping to the US yet.

A strut bar is just a strut bar. Unless you have lots of money to spend then go for it. With that money I would put in good use and buy some sway bars. Just my thoughts

That is a prety good price, but like someone said " a bar is a bar"

I haven't seen or tested every front or rear strut bar out there but not all bars are created equal. Some flex so much that they don't do what they're supposed to do. A DC sports rear strut bar is not the same as a spoon, comptech or even neuspeed bar. If you already have a Neuspeed bar I wouldn't get a new one either.

It's been a while but ppl on this board did a 'HomeDepot conversion' on their DC rear bars b/c it flexed so bad. They bought an extra piece of metal and somehow bolted it to the DC bar so it wouldn't flex and do it's job. I think the stock GSR front bar is better than these $39.95 bars on ebay and others out there.

I have both the front and rear Spoon tie bars. You will not notice a difference with them on, accept for feeling good about having a spoon product on your car. The rear is ok, but the front hangs hella low and ya have to watch out when ever going over speed bumps or high spots in the road or you will bend the bar. Just make sure both tires are in contact with the road and the bar should clear ok. Oh yeah and they come polished/chrome...and I hate polished stuff so I had mine powdercoated Spoon race colors blue and yellow.
